That's what I was thinking. Kinda angle it in from the top and get it in place and then work the bottom into place... or just work the whole thing in a little at a time?

Thanks guys

May want to put some of the sealant/caulk or matal duct tape on the outside seams before you install it. Will not show put will keep the water out if you ever get a leak around the windshield or antenna hole. Did not do mine and about a week later got some water in mine due to the way the seam was made on the new one.

It was actually pretty easy since it's a non-a/c model. After I got the glove box door off it just slipped right in. I did have to trim around the latch a little bit to get it to close but a utility knife made short work of that.
